Tear Jerker / Oblomov

Go To

Spoilers Off applies to Tearjerker pages. All spoilers are unmarked.

  • Oblomov's breakup with Olga. She realizes that her Pygmalion Plot is failing and she can't drag him around for the rest of their lives; but that doesn't mean she stops loving him. Oblomov accepts her decision, takes the blame entirely on himself and wants her to be happy.
  • Sachar's last scene. For most of the novel, he covers the comedy with his antics, but after spoiler: Oblomov dies, nobody needs a mouthy, clumsy servant so he becomes a bagger and stays in the city because he doesn't want to leave his grave.
